This photo is for Kaaren of The Painted Quilt. It is of my Hands All Around wallhanging that I am making for my bedroom. I took this photo with my cell phone, so I apologize for the quality and the light.

Last time I checked it was April 25th. Today I find out that it is May 6th.

Sorry I don't have a photo today. The weather here has been hit and miss, so no good photo ops today. I want to take a picture of my hexagons for my grandmother's flower garden-but we don't have any sunshine. Since when did Southern Idaho have rain every day for the better part of two weeks? I asked Rick yesterday when Southern Idaho became the Oregon Coast. I mowed the lawn today and noticed that in amongst the grass, weeds, dandelions and such, we had Queen Anne's lace just like the Coast; completely amazing.

I hope we have some sunshine for good photos soon. I just love the fabrics for my hexagon quilt, especially with the solid black pathways that I have chosen to set off the batik/hand-dyed flower centers.

Who I Am

I am a wife, a mother of 5, grandmother of 4, we are expecting our 5th grandchild in October 2013. We already know that we are having a granddaughter and her name will be Isabel. I am a mother-in-law to a really awesome young woman. I am a mother-in-law to 2 awesome young men. My two youngest are both happy with the loves of their lives right now. I am the mother of children obsessed with tattoos. Four of my five children have multiple tattoos. I am the mother of children that love fire. All five are fascinated by it. My youngest "firehoops". My two youngest children love and participate in Burning Man.
I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I work at not letting it define who I am. I am an animal lover. We currently have a 3-legged pygmy goat, numerous outside cats, 4 dogs as well as 2 inside cats. I am obsessed with many things: crafting blogs, music, quilting, crocheting, tatting, scrapbooking, taking photos, Facebook, Pinterest, the Green Bay Packers, NASCAR, the Utah Jazz, the New York Yankees, collecting vintage Christmas ornamnets, collecting vintage pyrex dishes, yard sales, thrifting, and riding our new motorcycle!
